Dynasty RP

"Indeed, it may even prove to be more entertaining then the acts that will go on tomorrow night." He said with a slight smirk.

Mitsuki waited until he was totally out before quietly and carefully got out of the bed and dressed herself. She then took the pouch of money from under her pillow and put it in her bag before glancing over at him. She hesitated before grabbing a piece of paper and pen and wrote, Find me at the festival.
She then left the room, sparing one last glance.

"Most likely. Unless someone gets mauled by that tiger."

Hikaru smirked, then looked over to the side, seeing his father and the rest of the guard waiting, "I've gotta go, I'll see you tomorrow night though." he said with a slight bow before running off.

"I wish you luck." She watched him go before returning to the palace.

Taemin snorted awake. His hand searched idly for Mitsuki and frowned when he realized he was alone. It was cold where she had been last. "How long have I been asleep?" he muttered, sitting up. He pulled on his pants and threw the curtains open. Purple, pink, and orange streaked the sky. He looked down and spotted the note. He laughed once to himself. "Interesting girl." He poked his pocket, smirking when he found it empty. "And still clever." He laced up his burnt orange tunic, tugged on his boots, and headed back to the palace for dinner.

Mitsuki walked around the town, watching as they continued to set up the festival. She smirked at the surroundings as she headed into the orphanage. She took the pouch of money and left it on the doorstep before knocking. Once she started to hear footsteps she dashed, jumping over the railing and covered herself in the darkness of the nearby ally. She watched as one of the caretakers walked outside, looking around until she saw the pouch of money and her eyes lit up, tears of happiness brimming her eyes as she picked up the money and headed back inside. Mitsuki smiled before disappearing into the alley.

Taemin met Soliel in the hallway. He smiled gently. "Sister," he greeted with a hug.
"You smell like a whore house."
"I took a nap," he admitted, his face shockingly innocent. "I heard about your marriage announcement."
She sighed and shrugged one, narrow shoulder. "What can I do?"
"Protest!"
"He wouldn't take it. I'm not you, Tae-Tae."

Hikaru walked back to his quarters after doing some night training. He released a sigh, collapsing on his bed with a yawn. The excitement for tomorrow was still getting at him.

Rai walked over. "Dinner is ready. The other families await your presence."
The siblings nodded and followed their guard to the dining hall.
Cillian greeted them at the door. "Prince Taemin, you gave quite a performance earlier today."
"Oh, that was just a bit of fun. I usually perform much better."
He eyed his shirt. "You smell fragrant. Do you really sleep around as much as the rumors say?"
"Cill--" Soliel started.
"That depends. What do the rumors say?"
"Five women a night."
"Five?!" He clicked his tongue. "I'm insulted. Any idiot can get five women. It takes a real charmer to get ten."
Soliel sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Taemin, you're not helping."
"I'm defending my reputation!"

Mitsuki traveled back to the brothel and disappeared in her room, curling up onto the pillow covered bed, her mind wandering back to Taemin.

The night came and went. When the morning came, the world was washed in muted hues. The banners, decorations, and paints were dimmed by the absence of the sun.
Taemin awoke to cheering, music, and laughing. He sprinted to the window and found the streets full of people. He changed into a gold tunic, black pants, and black boots before taking to the street. He headed before the brothel, searching for Mitsuki.

Mitsuki stood outside the brothel, wearing a silk blue dress that had a golden hawk pattern on it. She waited of Taemin to arrive, wondering if she'd been stood up.

Hikaru patrolled the grounds, hiding the awe he felt

Taemin spotted her and jogged over with a grin. "So. I hope that money you got from me went to a good cause."

Rai met Hikaru on his rounds. She inclined her head as greeting. "Beautiful, isn't it?"

Mitsuki looked at him and smirked, "It's in a much better place then that pocket of yours." She responded.

Hikaru looked at her and smiled, "Exteremly." He nodded, "enjoying yourself.?"

"Oh, I don't doubt that. Are you hungry? Cause I am. Let's go get something to eat."

"I actually just finished my patrol. I'm about to go explore. Do you have duties here or do you want to join me?"

"I could use some food, but you're paying, right?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I should have some free time." Hikaru smiled, "Let's do something."

"Yes, of course. Come on. I hear that the vendors here have divine food." He took her hand and started down the street.

"Alright. Anything specific you want to do?"

"Okay." Mitsuki said, walking alongside him, glancing around, "Are you sure you want to be seen with a whore like me?"

"I'd like to see the animals." he admitted, "But I just remembered, we have the duels in a few hours."

He raised an eyebrow. "Everyone else will have to get over themselves. Plus, my nickname at home is the Prince of Whores, so it wouldn't be much of a shock."

"Practice and then go see the animals before the duels?" she suggested.

"At least you don't care what people think, I like that." She smirked, pleased.

"Sounds like a plan." Hikaru nodded, "I want to be in best condition to beat your prince."

"Oh, honey, I couldn't care less. Ooh! Here!" He steered her towards a little roadside fire pit where a man was grilling meat and fruit on skewers.

"You and me both. Where do you want to do this?"

Mitsuki followed alongside him, glancing around at the lights. It was her first time here, since she couldn't afford to make the trip here when she was younger. She had to admit she was impressed, although she didn't show it.

"Hmm..." Hikaru looked around until he spotted an unoccupied part of the street, "How about over there?" he said, pointing over to it.

"Mango or pineapple?" he asked, pointing to the steak skewers.

"Good enough for me. Lead the way."

"Pineapple please." She requested, looking back over at him.

"Alright," Hikaru said, leading her over to the small empty area, "Wanna use real swords or practice swords?"

"Two pineapple," he said, handing the vendor money in return for the food. He handed one to Mitzuki. "There you go."

"Practice for now. I don't know how good you are yet."

"Thanks." She said, taking a bite, "Wow, this is good." she commented, mildly surprised.

"Alright." he chuckled, grabbing a practice sword from the rack and swung it a few times, "whenever you're ready."
